Graystone Hills Sponsors HAR TREPAC Night

Friendswood Development Company's Graystone Hills community sponsored the Houston Association of Realtors TREPAC Night at the Races event held on Thursday, April 30th at Dosey Doe. The event was held to benefit the TREPAC/Texas Real Estate Political Action Committee.

The Texas Real Estate Political Action Committee represents nearly 90,000 members across the state of Texas. The group emphasizes the difference between a REALTOR® and one who is "merely licensed by the state to sell real estate". That difference is the REALTOR® Code of Ethics, which requires REALTORS® to put their clients' interests first at all times.
